The predictions for what Dallas will do with the 24th pick are still all over the map. Our latest mock assumes that Kenyon Green is the target, but also that Kenyon Green is gone by the time the Cowboys have their turn. One outlet gives a nod to Zion Johnson for book smarts, while no one can seem to agree on Tyler Linderbaum. And one analytics expert says the Cowboys should trade up to take (hold onto your hats, Cowboys Nation) a safety. And we’ve got a fascinating look at that famed trade value chart that Jimmy Johnson created: the one that still gets used by teams today… even though they all seem to know it’s inherently flawed.
All that, plus a former Cowboy with potential- and at a position of need- is back on the open market, a franchise legend passes on a part of his legacy to a successor, Micah Parsons is getting several second chances this week during his homecoming, and details on how the Cowboys faithful can soak in this year’s draft day festivities at the team’s headquarters. That’s all ahead in News and Notes.
